Anyone have experience or recommendations on where to start with these bad boys, they're growing all around me. Swim has had some prior experiences with the Fly Agaric.

They are just going out of season here but Im having difficulty telling the difference between panthercap and false panthercap. I wouldnt consider consuming either but in my situation Im expected to know exactly what all the plants are around here. Also need information on dark centred hebeloma lookalikes.

This may help: The white warts on the brown cap will often times be shapped like pyramids. The gills will be free....not touching the stalk as all Amanita. The stalk will have a roll or collar where it and the bulb meet. It will be smooth above and hairy below this ring. It will have no odor but many suggest that you do not even taste. If you have Melzer's Reagent, the true Panther will not have any reactions....Nonamyloid. It of course will have a white spore print. Microscopy for spores: elliptic, smooth, entire, thin walled - 9-12 X 6.5-8.0 microns. Hope this helps. slp/fmrc

90% sure its a false panther (amanita spissa). I guess I could eat one and ask the trees what it is. If they answer back, then its a true panther. Thanks for your help.

What is the best mushroom ident online. Rogers mushrooms is limited and bizarrely will not allow you to search by decurrence/striate/etc, but its the best Ive managed to find. Unless its a cep or a bracket, it all comes down to a certain percentage of surity.
